Polar Coordinates and Graphing Polar Equations

Everything we have done on the coordinate plane so far has been using rectangular coordinates. That's the x and y we are used to. But that's not the only coordinate system. We can also use polar coordinates, which graph points in terms of a radius, or distance from a pole, and theta, the angle associated with the point. This system is useful for graphing circles and other curved objects, so let's make sure we understand how to use these, as well as convert between polar and rectangular forms.

OMG, how can you make something complicated feel so easy? Thank you. You know how many pages I read trying to understand that thing, I spent days reading and I learned nothing. 5 minutes of watching your videos made it crystal clear. Thank you very much, Genius.

Mr. Dave I hope you know I’m happy you’re alive and decided to have this chanel . You have no idea if you wouldn’t have made this video. I would’ve been lost thank you 🙏

Just dropping by to say thanks, thanks a whole lot. I checked a lot of sources but none of them explained it as clearly as you did, with some of them straight up skipping things like graphing polar equations and/or turning from polar form to rectangular form.

Read this today in a book and my concepts weren't as crystal clear before this!! Thanks so much! ♡♡

[kaylagaerte]

This makes sense?! You put my math teacher to shame

[manikdas]

U channel is underrated... Ur videos is literally very useful for me Thanks for ur great work

[nevis]

I'm glad you turned out ok Dave. Quite glad.

I’m in calc 2 and I’ve NEVER leaned this thanks you so much

[Kiky_MedPhysicist]

Thank you sir for your dedication and for making this free! 🙏

[manusaini]

This is so helpful. Highly recommended video to anybody reading this before watching.

[CC-mksv]

Thank you! Very helpful. Was looking at other videos but they didn’t explain it as clearly

[zilog]

What i think is interesting is that those polar functions on the graphic calculator at the end looked kinda like Atomic orbitals. coincidence? I think not!

Thank you so much sir 😊 you cleared all doubt

[ProofDetectives]

Asslam o alikum. Thank you professor Dava. Have a good day.

[tejasgowdakr]

Thank god, knowing that you are ok . Love from INDIA

[WaseemAkram-wcmf]

Sir thanks for this act of kindness, thats very easy methode to convay these concepts to us ....

[Persades]

this was amazing, hoping to find the whole series

[kangzhang]

Yep, we are all here because test is tomorrow!

[jackkahunalaguna]

"And I turned out okay"
Sure, professor Dave, sure
